THE GIRLS OF TO-DAY.
Tho Noble Womanhood Into Which They
win Undoubtedly Come.

WOm6nnOOu
VIII Undoubtedly Come.
Nice as most girls are, they are not all
of the kind to make matrimony state
of bliss and husbands content with
their lot. For in this thickly -thronged
field of girlhood are the peevish and the
contradictions, the selfish and the ex-
travagaEt, the idle and the careless, the
jealous and the unloving, the stupid and
the obstinate, the flirts who encourage
unseemly attentions, and the future
mothers who will think their children
so many hindrances to pleasure, and
who will not have in their hearts either
human love or animal instinct for theil
young. The heaven is not always all
pure blue-fowers are not all perfec.
and fragrant; and humanity is like the
rest of nature.-when beautiful and love-
worthy. then most ghtful-when
hacked and scanned and married, then
not by any means delightful! But on
the whole the choice girls far outnum-
Der those who are not choice. The
elders of the generation may not like
luis HeW lOliy anu Iliht lItou dAoctdtioii
but those elders must remember that
each new generation makes its own
shibboleths, has its own fashions. and
that youth must needs be foolish, else il
would not be youth at all. That pump.
handle shake is hideous and ungrace-
full; SO are those aggressive elbows stuck
out at right angles from the shoulders
to the hip; so is that silly fashion Of
quasi-masculinity in dress; and worse
than foolish is the affectation of manly
thought and freedom from feminine
modesties-of manly license and alb
sence of feminine restraints. But al
this effervesence will work off in time
and leave the golden liquid clear and
sweet--until another fermentation sets
in, with the same process Of running
clear when it is over. Our grave gran
nies--our sweet mothers ourselves
now grannies and mothers to the pres
emit young-have all had the affectation,
and follies of youth in our time. Lee

At the time when Columbus started In
search of the Now World, nearly every man,
woman and child in Europe insisted that
there was no New World TO discover. When
he came back, crowned with success, large
proportion of these good people adhered to
their theory; and il they were alive to-day
many of them would doubtless insist that
America had never been discovered at all.

Elsewhere in this issue Of the
BE, will be found an article on
a reported mishap in our schools.
There must be some law adopted
to compel those who have the in
struction of our children, to put a
stop to the immortality in our
schools. We have been informed
by a gentleman in high official
standing that one of the male prin-
cipals in our schools has been
charged with serious offense.
We hope that it is not so. The
lady we understand, has resigned
which has caused special com
mittee from the school board, to

mors that are i'm circulation. The
dy is from one of the oldest fam
lies in this city. She has never
been known TO be placed in COM
promising position. We,regret tue
circumstances and if it turns out
to be true, We hope that the school
board will deal severely with the
man. Woman is weak being,
hence it is our desire and object to
defend IL IN against the assaults
of the stronger sex. The result OF
this investigation W Ii be known III

guilt or innocence OF the parties
There is way to put a stop tc

WHO is IN THE WRONG DOUBLE
DEALING AND DUPLICITY PRAC-
TICED ON FRIENDS. MEN WHO
WERE THE MOST FAITHFUL AND
ENERGETIC CONDEMNED.

For some time there bas been
some misunderstanding between
Recorder Trotter and James q
Matthews. Trotter who became
Recorder by accident has been
criticised and condemned by some
who have heretofore claimed to be
friendly to him. Mr.. Henry
johnson, clerk in the Recorders
office, has been charged with hav-
ing one or two persons discharged
which has caused some severe
criticisms to be made. 1t is now
reported and believed to have
been stated by Trotter himself,
that Mr.. johnson endeavored to
have these persons retained and
that he was not party to the
conspiracy to injure any one. 1t
is also true that Mr.. johnson did
all in his power to serve Mr.. Mat
thews, and secure bis c)ntirma-
ton if possible, also did the
gentlemen who were dls-
charged while Mr.. Trotter was
sick. 1t is now stated that Mr..
Matthews was the cause Of Mr..
Douglass discharge, aud that an
attempt is now being made to
bring pressure to beac to have Mr..
Johnson discharged. While 1t is
true that the BEE takes no stock
In this muddle, it believes in CIV
ing credit to men who have been
! faithful to those who have needed
assistance.
There is conspiracy some
where Some one is to blame for
these dis charges, out everybody
seems to deny them. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Trotter is not responsible
and the BEE learns that, in the
conversation Mr.. Douglass had
with Mr.. Trotter, iey days ago
he was told the circumstances OF
his discharge. During the conver-
sation Mr.. johnson was exhOner-
ated entirely. If this is true wha
Mr.. Trotter has said, where does
the responsibility rest? Mr.. Doug
lass is satisfied that Mr. johnson
had nothing to do with it, anc
Mr.. Matthews says that he did moi
cause it.

l. en- !eavoling 10 bring the color.
ed high school upon the same bas.
is AS the white high school. To do
this he will he compelled to search
the best colleges in the country
for teachers. In conversation with
Superintendent Powell a few eve
nil gs ago. we asked him where he
got the teachers tor his high school ?
We were Informed that the
teachers i'm the white high
school were from the best colleges
in the country. He was also asked
if any of his teachers were from the
District? He said no, and for our
benefit he banded lis the following
list of teachers i'm The white high
school, who are graduates from
other institutions Principal, E. A.

To obtain a good colored high
school, DR.. Francis and Superin
tendent Cook, must do as Mr.. Pow.

every teacher in the white high
schOnl is from some of the very
best colleges in the country. The
